1. Supplier identification and selection

Supplier identification and selection is a critical aspect of all outsourcing projects. Our experience within this field shows that the more information we have about the product the better chances we have of finding the right partner. The type of information we ask our clients to provide:

  • Define whether the project is OEM or ODM
  • Technical specifications including product finishing
  • Product pictures and drawings

2. Product Benchmark Study

A benchmark study is a financial “snapshot” of an industry group that allows individual business owners to compare their operations to others of similar size and type.

You are buying a specific product from a local distributor/importer with the knowledge that the product has been manufactured in Asian countries, and you wonder whether you would be better off going direct?

Well, Ilyis can help you make better sense of your purchasing options by offering a complete benchmark study based on a minimum of 10 factories manufacturing that same product.

  • Detailed product specifications including quality level required by client
  • Suppliers/manufacturers identification according to product specification
  • Suppliers/manufacturers inquiries and benchmark study development and report

3. Guided factory visits and social audits

Ilyis international Ltd. provides guided factory visits. Both options can be considered, either factories from our existing supplier network selected according to client’s product requirement, or other factories preselected by the client.

  • Product specifications and requirements study
  • Supplier identification from Ilyis’s network or client’s specific request
  • Visitprogramming (Accommodation, transport, etc.)
  • Setup of factory audit and face to face meeting
  • Assistance in negotiations

4. Guided visits of Asia trade shows

A great way of understanding market trends and identifying new products is to attend exhibitions. Whereas the logistics of attending such events can prove daunting to many, Ilyis international Ltd. will take that burden off your shoulders by offering custom-made visits to the fair of your choice:

  • Product specification and requirement study
  • Asia-based trade show selection
  • Visit programming (Registration, accommodation, transport, etc.)
  • Supplier pre-selection according to product study and client’s requirements
  • Setup of face to face meetings
  • Assistance in negotiations

Remark: Both Guided factory visits and Asia-based trade shows can be combined.
